When Amy opens the phones for call-ins, a female listener states how Michaela changed her life. She goes further to say she dislikes feminism, and that it is wrong to hate men or anyone else just because they're different. Before the caller hangs up she says that Michaela is an appalling academic and as intellectual as a hemorrhoid.

Her extremist feminism is thought to be a reference to the late Andrea Dworkin, a radical feminist with similar views.
